A Post Christmas Crafty day!

Today I, along with two lovely friends planned an afternoon or craft activities whilst our husbands played shooty-fighty games on the x box and other board games.

I brought along the flowery earring tutorial and Friday Flowers (Thanks Becs!) which are fairly simple projects. We only had time (and eyesight!) to do the flowery earrings but had some amazing results by just changing the type of bead (see photos).Needless to say, Abbie is now hooked on beading and now has the start of her 'stash'...a Matchmakers box with her spiral chenille stitch rope for her lovely pendant and the web address for Stitch 'n'craft...Another beader is born! :)

Andrea's creation.......we got there in the end, a true beader never gives up when the thread breaks! :)

Abbie's creation - a change of bead can make it into a completely different project.

Another beader is born.........Abbie has has very first bead box......this is how it begins! :)
